We present a search for Higgs boson produced in the di-tau modes or via the associated $p\bar{p}\to h+b \to\tau^+\tau^-b$ process at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV using up to 1.8-7.3 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the D0…

A search for stable and long-lived massive particles of electric charge |Q/e|=1 or fractional charges of 2/3, 4/3, and 5/3 is reported using data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP, at centre-of-mass energies from 130 to 209 GeV. These…
If in addition to the standard model fields, a new pseudoscalar field that couples to hypercharge topological number density, the hypercharge axion, exists, it can be produced in colliders in association with photons or Z bosons, and…
The $ZZ$ pair production rate in high energy $\gamma \gamma$ collisions is evaluated with photons from laser backscattering. We find that searching for the Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass up to, or slightly larger than, 400 GeV via…
